Question 8

A diagram shows a triangle OABOABOAB.

OA⃗=3a \vec{OA} = 3\mathbf{a} OA=3a OB⃗=4b \vec{OB} = 4\mathbf{b} OB=4b

P P\,P is the point on AB AB\,AB such that AP:PB=2:3AP:PB = 2:3AP:PB=2:3

OP⃗=k(9a+8b) \vec{OP} = k(9\mathbf{a} + 8\mathbf{b}) OP=k(9a+8b)

Triangle OAB with P on AB in the ratio AP to PB equals 2 to 3, and vectors OA, OB and OP labelled with their given expressions.

Find the value of kkk.
